Chapter 159
"The sign-in was successful, congratulations on obtaining the full technical production drawings of the T54 battle tank. "
A new day of luck.
Not only signed in to the post-World War II scientific and technological equipment.
And also a T54 combat tank.
In fact, now the armored vehicle research institute under NORINCO has a project for a new tank under way.
But in comparison, it is still technically inferior to the T54 tank.
It was thought that the new tank would not be equipped until at least two years before the outbreak of World War II.
I didn't expect to get it through check-in on the second day of 33.
Compared to the T-34/85 tank.
The T-54 medium tank is much more powerful.
And it is also the most classic post-war medium tank.
A total of about 50,000 vehicles were produced.
Compared to the T-34/85 Zhongtan, the load capacity is similar.
Its total combat weight is only 36 tons.
But both in mobility, protection, power, and electronics.
Compared to the T-34/85, it is an all-round improvement.
Power was powered by a four-stroke 12-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine with 520 horsepower.
The maximum road speed is 50 kilometers per hour, and the distance has also exceeded 500 kilometers.
In terms of protection capabilities, a cast turret was used.
This thing was basically able to reach the top level of protection during World War II.
Its hull is made of 120 mm 60-degree inclined armor.
Equivalent armor protection is capable of reaching 210 mm.
The turret armor reached 200 mm.
The armor protection ability on the front of its hull can completely compete with the King Tiger tank.
It's only 36 tons.
The size of the tiger king is nearly 70 tons.
That's almost twice the size of the T-54 gram.
It can be said that the T-54 tank has achieved the perfect balance of mobility, protection and firepower.
In terms of firepower, its 100 mm rifled gun is not worth anyone.
Even if there is a King Tiger tank standing opposite.
A 100 mm tank gun can still penetrate it with one shot. 560
Compared to the King Tiger tank, the 88mm tank gun is more powerful.
For the appearance of this tank, Zhang Xueming is still very satisfied.
All technical drawings of this tank were directly sent to the Northern Ordnance Industry Group.
After a while of their research.
I immediately began to study the production line.
The production matter was directly handed over to the first tractor manufacturing plant in the north.
It is also the largest tractor manufacturing plant in the north.
A super-large tracked vehicle production base was built in Jinzhou.
The BTZ-32 full-tracked infantry fighting vehicle is produced at this base.
The first tractor manufacturing plant in the north after receiving drawings for mass production.
We immediately started purchasing equipment and installing the production line.
The military's requirement is a minimum of 200 vehicles per month.
The annual output must reach more than 3,000 vehicles.
It's not a lot of pressure for them.
With the entry into service of various new equipment.
and problems discovered from many wars.
In addition to the short period of time is not prepared to use force.
Zhang Xueming plans to take advantage of this gap to adjust the strength of the troops.
This adjustment is also an all-round adjustment.
And the changes are not small.
The first to change was the Panzer Division, which can also be called a Tank Division.
The Panzer Division is also a veritable heavy armored force in the sequence of the Northeast Frontier Army.
Mainly tanks are the main equipment.
Be the vanguard of troops in the battlefield.
Tear open the enemy's defenses.
The main change in the establishment this time is the withdrawal of regiments and the increase of brigades.
It's easy to understand literally.
The regimental level will be abolished and upgraded to a brigade, which is also a regimental brigade.
The establishment of battalion level and below remains unchanged.
The Panzer Division had two armored brigades and one artillery brigade.
Each brigade has two tank battalions and two armoured infantry battalions.
The main thing is to increase the coordinated combat capability of tank units.
After equipping with the new BTZ-32 infantry fighting vehicle.
It can accompany the advance of tank troops very well.
This would equip a total of 4 tank battalions and 4 armored infantry battalions.
Each battalion is armed with 72 tanks.
Each armored infantry battalion is equipped with 32 BTZ-72 tracked infantry fighting vehicles.
At the same time, more than 60 new armoured personnel carriers will be equipped.
This time can be said to be the real teeth that armed the armored division to the teeth.
The artillery brigade, on the other hand, was comprehensively strengthened.
The first was the cancellation of two guns.
Respectively, 105-mm Priest and T92240-mm super-heavy self-propelled guns.
The caliber of the 105-mm gun is too small, and the power is relatively small.
And armored forces require very powerful accompanying firepower.
So the guns equipped by the armored divisions all started at 155 mm.
A total of 3 battalions of 155-mm self-propelled guns were armed, that is, 54 M1 155-mm self-propelled guns.
Soon after, after the commissioning of self-propelled guns of 203 mm caliber.
A battalion will also be equipped to further enhance their firepower.
In addition to this, there is a battalion of BM-13-12 self-propelled rocket artillery.
A total of 27 self-propelled rocket launchers carrying 12 300-mm large-caliber rockets were armed.
However, this SPG will soon be replaced.
The cross-country ability of wheels cannot keep up with the actions of tank troops.
The new tracked rocket launcher will be developed on the T-34 gram chassis.
The caliber will not be lower than 200 mm.
It's the same thing.
Although the 127-mm rocket is very powerful, its lethality is still a little lower.
At least 200 mm or more caliber is required to better complete the task.
In addition to this, an air defense battalion will be equipped.
The main armament was also developed on the T-34 gram chassis.
Carries four 20 mm caliber cannons. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
It can be used not only to enhance the field air defense of troops.
Poses a great threat to enemy low- and medium-altitude aircraft.
It can also be used to support infantry combat.
When the quadruple 20mm cannon is flattened.
Absolutely a nightmare for all infantrymen.
This was the final composition of the Panzer Division.
In addition to these three brigades, there is also a support brigade.
It has an engineering battalion, a boatbridge battalion, an armored maintenance battalion, a logistics support battalion, a car transport brigade, an air transport battalion, a field hospital, and so on.
The strength of the entire armored division also broke through the 20,000 mark.
The composition of the armored forces has changed considerably.
There have also been significant changes in the composition of mechanized infantry divisions.
This time the division was reformed into a brigade in an all-round way. (cjbb)
The Mechanized Infantry Division has a total of three mechanized infantry brigades.
Each brigade has one tank battalion and three mechanized infantry battalions.
Further increase the number of tanks in mechanized infantry units.
Originally, a regiment was equipped with a tank company, but this time it was directly upgraded to a tank battalion.
One battalion has 72 tanks, and these three battalions alone are 216.
Plus tanks from guard battalions, armored reconnaissance battalions.
The total number of tanks reached almost 300 or so.
In addition to the three mechanized infantry brigades, there are artillery brigades and logistics support brigades.
And the composition of the artillery brigade of the armored division is the same.
The 105 mm gun and the T92, which was too poorly maneuverable, were also eliminated.
It is equipped with 155 mm and 203 mm heavy guns.
The number of troops was also increased from 18,000 to 22,000.
Then there are motorized rifle divisions.
As the main force of the third gear.
The number of motorized rifle divisions was the largest among the main forces of the Northeast Frontier Army.
The division was transformed into three motorized rifle brigades and one artillery brigade.
Their equipment changes are also the greatest.
Not so much motorized rifle divisions.
It is better to say that it is a light combined infantry division.
It is also an attempt by Zhang Xueming in synthesis.
After the restructuring, its combat effectiveness will increase exponentially.
It has leapt to become an existence with the same combat power as the mechancellor.
If the previous motorized infantry division was compared to the ordinary infantry division.
Simply add a large number of trucks as a maneuver.
Then now it has become a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle.
After the development of the tracked infantry fighting vehicle project at the Armored Vehicle Research Institute.
In the same period, work on the development of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles was carried out.
And this wheeled infantry fighting vehicle has already begun mass production.
It can also be called a large eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier.
Powered by a 220 hp six-cylinder diesel engine, the combat weight was 20 tons.
The armament was equipped with a 20 mm machine gun and two 7.92 mm general-purpose machine guns.
Its aft compartment can carry a total of 16 heavily armed soldiers.
Although the armor protection above does not protect against armor-piercing shells of large-caliber machine guns.
But for a 7.92 mm machine gun bullet it was still able to protect against it.
Its main role is to transport troops.
Compared to trucks that are completely unprotected and firepowered.
The BTR-32 large eight-wheeled personnel carrier will be heavily equipped for motorized troops.
Each motorized rifle brigade will be equipped with about 180 vehicles.
The division will be equipped with 540 large eight-wheelers.
In addition to this, a tank company was added to each brigade to increase the assault capability.
And the artillery unit, the 105mm howitzer was also canceled.
The entire artillery brigade was armed with three 155-mm artillery battalions, totaling 54.
There are also two battalions of self-propelled rocket artillery with a total of 54 Katyusha self-propelled rocket launchers.
However, both guns will be replaced in the near future.
Towed guns could not keep up with the large number of motorized infantry with large eight-wheeled equipment.
Elimination is also inevitable.
Several new guns are already being developed.
It will be officially installed this year.
For example, a 155 mm truck gun.
A lightweight howitzer of 155 mm caliber will be added to the chassis of a heavy military truck.
The firing range only needs to be about 20 km and it is enough.
And there are self-propelled mortars of 120 mm caliber.
It exists as an alternative to the 105mm howitzer.
Strengthen rapid-fire firepower of motorized units.
Developed on the chassis of the large eight-wheeler, the firing range is about 8-10 km, and the rate of fire is about 10 rounds per minute.
Its existence is a good replacement for towed 105mm howitzers.
Then there are wheeled rocket launchers.
A new 127-mm multi-barreled rocket launcher project is also under development.
After equipping with these equipment.
The motorized chemist is truly complete.
The combat capabilities used are not at all vain for the infantry division.
It can be said that in this restructuring.
The biggest winner was the motorized rifle division.
Fighting in areas in the south with a dense network of water.
Mechanized troops are not suitable.
After the restructuring, the motorized troops will be able to show their might.
The equipment retired after the restructuring will be equipped for the light infantry divisions of the second line.
We don't waste our work.
After all, the main forces eat meat, and they also have to let these second-line troops drink soup.
However, the brigade reform regiment did not have their share.
This time the restructuring is mainly the main force.
